Roundtable with the CPIFA

Roundtable with the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs visiting delegation

Last year saw the re-establishment of the Australia-China High Level Dialogue, a 1.5 track exchange of perspectives that brings together senior representatives from industry, government, academia, media and the arts.

The 8th Australia-China High Level Dialogue will be held this week in Adelaide. Prior to the Dialogue, the Australia-China Relations Institute at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS:ACRI) hosted a roundtable discussion with the visiting Chinese delegation in Sydney.

The roundtable aimed to delve into a wide range of bilateral issues concerning Australia and China, with the goal of fostering mutual understanding and cooperation.

The discussion was held under the Chatham House Rule.
